INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONSCarefully review all of these instructions BEFORE proceeding to install and operate your air conditioner unit. Failure to do so may cause damage, injury, or bodily harm including permanent disability and/or death.

LOCATION:• The air conditioner should be placed on a firm, level surface to minimize

noise and vibration. For safe and secure positioning, place the unit on a smooth, level floor strong enough to support the unit.

• The unit has casters to aid in maneuverability, but it should only be rolled on smooth, flat surfaces. Use caution when rolling on carpeted surfaces. Do not attempt to roll the unit over objects.

• The unit must be placed within reach of a properly rated grounded sock-et.

• Never place any obstacles around the air inlet or outlet of the unit.• Allow 1 to 3 feet (30cm to 100cm) of space from the wall with for efficient

air-conditioning and prevent overheating.

EXHAUST HOSE INSTALLATION:

NOTE: For your unit to function properly, it is imperative that the exhaust hose be vented to the outside when used in Auto, Cooling and dehumidify modes.

1. Install the adapter onto the exhaust hose as shown in Figure B. First completely expand about 5 inches of hose on both ends of the ex-haust pipe. Insert and fasten the Adapter to the exhaust pipe by turning the it counter-clockwise at one end of the hose. Repeat the process at the opposite end of the hose with the Connector.

2. Insert the connector of the now-assembled exhaust hose into the hole seat of the air outlet and slide the exhaust hose down along the arrow’s direction as shown in Figure C. Pay attention to the tabs so that the connector clicks into place.

The exhaust hose can be compressed or extended moderately according to installation requirements, but it is preferable to shorten the hose to desired length.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT OVER-BEND OR KINK THE EXHAUST HOSE. (Figure D)

CAUTION EXHAUST PORTMake sure that there are no obstacles within 18” (50cm) around the exhaust outlet in order for the exhaust system to work properly.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS (CONTINUED):

WATER DRAINAGECertain functions of your air conditioning unit create condensation and the unit may need to evacuate accumulated water. Please carefully follow these instructions according to your operating and usage conditions.

COOLING MODEDuring cooling mode, the unit attempts to evacuate all of the moisture through the exhaust hose to the outside along with the warm air exhaust At times, when the humidity level is very high, excess water may collect in the bottom tray. If the water level of the bottom tray reaches a predetermined lev-el, the unit beeps 8 times, the digital display area shows error P1. At this time the air conditioning/dehumidification process will immediately stop. Howev-er, the fan motor will continue to operate (this is normal).

Carefully move the unit to a drain location, remove the bottom drain plug and let the water drain away (see Figure E). Reinstall the bottom drain plug and restart the machine until the P1 symbol disappears. If the error repeats, call for service.NOTE: Be sure to reinstall the bottom drain plug before using the unit.

DEHUMIDIFYING MODE ONLY: Remove the upper drain plug from the back of the unit and simply attach the drain hose to the hole. Place the open end of the hose adapter directly over the drain area in your floor or into another receptacle (see Figure F).NOTE: Make sure the hose is secure so there are no leaks. Direct the hose toward the drain, making sure that there are no kinks that will stop water flow. Place the end of the hose into the drain and make sure the end of the hose is down to let the water flow smoothly (see Figure F). Do not lift up the hose as this may cause water to flow back into the unit.

WINDOW SLIDER KIT INSTALLATIONYour window slider kit has been designed to fit most standard double-hung and slider windows, However, it may be necessary for you to improvise/modify some aspects of the installation procedures for certain types of windows. Please refer to Figure G & Figure H for minimum and maximum window openings. The window slider kit can be fixed with an included security peg (see Figure I).
